Using the Camera to Record and Analyze a Golf Swing
4.
Move a golf club or something else near the (start self-timer) icon.
When the camera detects subject movement near the icon, it will automatically
start a countdown from the Handsfree timer start time. The camera will start
shooting the movie when the countdown reaches zero. After five seconds,
recording will stop automatically and the
(preview) icon will appear on the
monitor screen.
• Camera response to movement may become poor when the background is
close to the same color as the subject (your golf club), or when the subject is
too far away from the camera.
• To stop movie recording part way through, press [0] (Movie) again.
5.
To view the movie you just shot, move your hand in the vicinity of the
(preview) icon.
• When the camera detects your movement, it will play back the movie in real
time. Use this feature when you want to check your swing immediately after
recording it.
• To stop movie playback part way through, press the shutter button.
• When “On” is selected for the “Handsfree” “Motion Sending” (page 65) setting,
the preview icon is replaced by a (Motion Sending) icon. If the camera
detects movement in the vicinity of the (Motion Sending) icon, it will send
the movie you just shot to the smartphone.
